*ṛṣaya ūcuḥ
pūrvāparau samākhyātau yau deśau tau tvayā mune
uttarāṇāṃ ca varṣāṇāṃ parvatānāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ //

"Sage! Be pleased to say all about the two countries, eastern and western, which have been already mentioned by you and of the northern varṣas and mountains, besides which, we are also desirous of hearing the account of the men living on those mountains." On being thus urged by the seers, Sûta again resumed the string of his narration.—58-59.
